Rudd will star in the third Ant-Man film as Scott Lang, aka Ant-Man, and said the film would be “important for everything going forward” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Rudd is joined by former castmates Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfieffer, as well as Jonathan Majors, who will play the villainous Kang The Conqueror.

He said: “I think it will be pretty important for everything going forward. In particular, we introduced this character Kang the Conqueror and, you know, for Marvel aficionados, they know about Kang – he’s a pretty big deal.

“It’s a big, big villain and he will be a huge part of everything in the MCU moving forward for this next phase. So this is gonna set the tone for all of that.” Rudd added that he had “treasured” the time working on all three films, and was now “friends” with all the cast and crew.

“This was a blast. I’ve had a great time working on these Marvel movies (and) this one was terrific. We got to shoot it here in London, which is the first of the three, so that was really great.

“At this point I’ve become friends with the cast, we’ve spent a lot of time together over many years and I treasure that time. It’s the best, and I got to make some new friends too.”
